    We loved dining at The Marine Room! Perfect ambiance for a wedding anniversary dinner. My husband and I started with the Peruvian Crudo, which was flavorful and refreshing. Then for our main course we got the Tasmanian Ocean Trout and the Filet Mignon and Lobster tail. The trout was crispy, and laid in a very tasty sauce and it was so delicious! The filet mignon and lobster tail was also cooked to perfection! They gave us a cake slice to celebrate our anniversary which was nice. 1000/10 would recommend and we will be back.
